If you are prone to cold sores, lip tattooing can cause outbreaks. We ask that our clients take their prescribed anti-viral medication a few days prior to their appointment and after the procedure to prevent any cold sores. If you have an outbreak we ask that you reschedule your appointment.

What to expect

There may be moderate swelling, redness and bruising for the first 3 days.

If you experience swelling, use an ice pack for no more than 10 minutes at a time to reduce swelling.

During the initial healing period, there will be minimal scabbing or flaking of the skin. If there is some scabbing or flaking, do not pick, and allow the scab or dry skin to come off on its own. This usually takes place within the first 3-7 days.

Expect the color to lighten by up to 30% once the healing process is complete.

Color may appear uneven at different stages of healing. Please be patient. Permanent Makeup does fade and is expected to last 2 to 5 years before requiring a touch-up. Maintenance touch ups are suggested for best results. Results cannot be guaranteed.
